i have a thread in the CAD form about me making a jedi starfighter here is a picture of the one in the movie.....my question is will it be stable or will it fall out of the sky.

It's hard to tell from that pic but it LOOKS like it's basically a delta wing with a deep belly fin. Yes?

If so I think it'll fly fine but landing with that belly fin will be..... oh...... "interesting"....

here is a side picture of it the air foil isnt round like on a regular plane

Raptor,

I have been toying around witht he idea of building the Millenium Falcon, as a lifting body, but never got round to it. Along the way I found that the X-Wing hase been built and flown, so I think you do have a good chance of making this fly. Although of course, it may not be perfectly to scale.

IF its close to scale, it willprobably be a "hot" flyer, with high stall speed, unless you build it really really light. Just my opinion.

Good luck with this project, hope to see it flying succesfully

Second law of aerodynamics: Given enough power ANYTHING will fly.

Well, I'm happy to see I'm not the only one thinking this way trying to build a spacewars ship.

I really want to build a Tay-fighter.
been busting my head for year about how to do it.
best idea I've got so far is to work it like a helicopter since there are no horizontal lift making platforms.

any thoughts on that one?

p.s.

I would love to see some rc starwars bird if any of got some.
